  stood in a used bookstore and read the entire thing in one go. more on the experimental side but reads gorgeously, perfectly rhythmic and powerful.

  You get some interesting things when you read Moraga's work on sexuality and gender role issues. Prominent themes in most of her work. She's a great playwright that is able to complicate her audience's thoughts about what it is they are witnessing or reading in her plays. Similarly here, the audience bears witness to Marisa/Corky as she reflects on her life and the companionship she seeks from Amalia.

  I liked it but the character Marisa was a bit off to me. I know/ dated many "dykes" that had this issue of "wanting" to be a man. Not that they want to be a man but they want to be treated and desired by women like they are. But again I felt she went a little too overboard, then again I could be wrong. I do want to see the play and maybe my views will change.
